Disney Hand-Dipped Corn Dogs

 

If you adore fair and carnival food, then you’re likely a huge fan of Disney Hand-Dipped Corn Dogs. I haven’t been to Disney since I was a child, but I do remember the food was delish. My favorite corn dogs are from The State Fair of Texas. I eat them every year, and they never disappoint. It’s pretty great to have an at-home recipe that comes close.

This recipe makes at least a dozen corn dogs, if not more, so I often cut it in half if we want half a dozen or so. Also, poor the batter into a tall glass to help with efficient dipping as opposed to trying to dip them out of the mixing bowl.

Note: I cut this recipe in half to serve 3-4 people.

Elements

2 C All-Purpose Flour

2 C Cornmeal

1 C sugar

1 Tsp Sea Salt

2 T Baking Powder

2 Eggs

2 C Milk

2 T Honey

2 T Vegetable Oil

Skewer sticks

16-32 Bun-Length Wieners

3-4 C Canola or Vegetable Oil (for frying)

Directions

  1. In a deep skillet or pot fitted with a candy thermometer to the side, over medium heat, add oil.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, add flour, cornmeal, sugar, sea salt, and baking powder; whisk to combine.

  3. In a separate large bowl, add milk, eggs, honey, and vegetable oil (2 T); whisk to combine.

  4. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and whisk until well combined.

  5. Prepare a baking sheet with foil.

  6. Remove wieners from packaging and pat dry; I make two passes to make sure they’re completely dry. Batter will slip off in the grease if there’s any moisture.

  7. If you prefer shorter corn dogs or don’t have a deep skillet, cut wieners in half prior to skewering.

  8. Add skewers to wieners.

  9. Once oil reaches 375°-400°, submerge wiener into batter and be sure to coat completely.

  10. add to skillet and give a tiny push/pull movement to ensure it does’t initially stick to the bottom (yes, it happens, and then you can’t flip it).

  11. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, no more than two at a time in the skillet.

  12. remove and place on a paper towel-lined tray or plate to cool.

  13. use care as hot grease will splatter and cause burns! I try to fry with long sleeves.

  14. once slightly cooled, serve!
